new Beginnings | kids

We want every child to experience the life-changing love of Jesus in a way that feels real and personal. At New Beginnings | Kids, your child will engage in worship, games, hands-on activities, and meaningful conversations—all designed to make the Gospel come alive. It’s a high-energy, joy-filled environment where kids can grow in their faith and have a blast doing it!

At New Beginnings, we believe parents are the primary disciple-makers in their child’s life. That’s why we’re passionate about partnering with you—encouraging and equipping you to lead your children spiritually with confidence and purpose.

our weekly rhythms 

Sundays

Sunday mornings are packed with fun and focused on Jesus! Each week includes worship, games, interactive learning, and small group discussions. We use The Gospel Project curriculum, which walks kids through the story of Scripture—from Genesis to Revelation—with age-appropriate lessons that help them connect deeply with God’s Word.

Wednesdays

Midweek at New Beginnings is another great opportunity for your child to grow in their faith! During the school year, preschoolers explore biblical truths through the Lil’K curriculum—an engaging, video-driven program full of fun and hands-on activities. Elementary kids enjoy a mix of Bible study, games, and small group time that helps them build friendships and dive deeper into Scripture. A MDWK dinner option is also available!

what
to
expect

when you attend

We want each visit to New Beginnings | Kids to be smooth, welcoming, and worry-free!  If it's your first time with us, head to the Check-In table located in the kids ministry lobby. One of our friendly Kids Team members will be there to greet you, gather a few quick details about your family, and provide you with secure check-in tags. From there, we’ll personally walk you to your child’s room and help them get settled so they feel comfortable and excited for a great morning!

safety & check - in

Your child’s safety is a top priority at New Beginnings. Every child must be checked in at one of our secure check-in stations before entering the Kids Area. At check-in, you’ll receive two tags: one name tag for your child to wear and one matching security tag for you to keep. When it’s time for pick-up, simply show your tag to your child’s leader to ensure a safe and secure dismissal. For added safety, only individuals with a matching security tag are allowed into the Kids Area.

Mom MOMents

We come alongside preschool moms and homeschool moms to encourage them in this unique season of motherhood by providing a place to connect, be refreshed, and grow in their relationship with Jesus and others. Through meaningful community and Christ-centered support, we aim to help moms thrive—not just survive—as they walk out their calling at home and beyond.

special NEEDS

at New Beginnings | Kids

At New Beginnings, we believe every person is valuable and every believer is called. That includes individuals with special needs and their families. Our Special Needs ministry exists to come alongside you—removing barriers and creating a welcoming space where your child can encounter Jesus’ ever-restoring life and experience true community within the Body of Christ. Our Special Needs class is available on Sunday's during our 9:30am and 11am services.

With trained volunteers, thoughtfully designed environments, and sensory-friendly resources, we work to ensure each child feels safe, seen, and loved. From the moment you arrive, our goal is to keep our eyes up, knees down, and hearts open—so your family can feel at home here.
